Chuck spent most of his career defending claims for large companies, insurance companies, banks and hospitals as a Partner at a large regional law firm. He reached a crossroad in his career when he turned 40. He had spent his entire adult life advocating for people who needed help, while his professional life was consumed by representing institutions who defended claims brought by those same people. With the support of his family, he decided to dedicate the rest of his career to helping people, instead of institutions.
